Nushrat Bharucha – Observations about Bollywood and being without a Star Parent and God Father

The actress says, “Being opposite an established star definitely helps. People know a Nargis Fakhri or an Ileana De’Cruz more than they know me, because they have been paired opposite big stars. Or you have to have a filmmaker like Karan Johar who likes to give enough limelight to the newcomers. But if you do not have both, you have to be sincere with your work. I haven’t quite figured out a formula that works in Bollywood. “

She adds, “For me, anyone who has helped me is my godfather. Right from my producer Kumar Mangat to my director to my casting director. These people could have taken a bigger star, but they invested so much time, money and effort on me. I am really thankful to them. At one point of time, I had a huge list of people, I wanted to work with. But since the past year, I have decided that I would rather work with a director who wants to work with me. “
